Biswas M. | Mandal L.
Fifteen healthy crossbred (Jersey x Hariana) calves, about 6 months old and having an average live weight of 75 kg, were selected. From the present study it can be concluded that water-hyacinth in its wilted form along with molasses and with or without urea can replace the straw part of the diet without any untoward effect on animals except for having a slight tendency of passing loose faeces.
